DESCRIPTION:It seems that at every conference time is set aside for discuss
 ions on diversity and inclusion. Many departments have a diversity committ
 ee and a diversity policy.\nWhy are we still devoting time to this? Should
 n't we be discussing algorithms\, data transport\, AI\, and the current ro
 adblocks to technical and scientific progress?\n\nIf you've been silently 
 nodding\, this BoF is for you. \nIf you are horrified at what you've just 
 read\, this BoF is for you.\nIf you think much of the DEIB effort is box t
 icking and virtue signalling\, this BoF is for you.\nIf you believe that c
 ollaboration is the path to better science\, please join us. Because the r
 oadblocks to collaboration and diversity in our teams\, are roadblocks to 
 excellence in science and technology.
